Just another piercing.

There's definitely something about the feeling of being pierced. I had my left ear done twice back in high school (one idiotically of my own doing). FYI, I've had no other piercings until just the other day...

As much as I remember how bad that second, self-inflicted ear piercing felt, there's nothing quite like the feeling of a phillips head bit spinning in a cordless drill at 750 RPMs as it instantaniously punctures through your thumb, dead center on the thumbnail, exiting through your thumbprint, and back out again.

G-rated pictures are here, and here.

A PG-13 picture can be found here. (Notice the expert photography in capturing both the entrance and exit wounds).

All is well thanks to the inventions of iodine, Keflex, gauze sleeves, Band-aids, and of course Vicodin.

Such is life.
